In today’s deal (reported by Barry Rigal) from the Life

Master Pairs in Las Vegas, South’s bold overcall kept East-

West from finding their spade fit.

North’s raise to three clubs looks odd to me and could

have turned a plus into a minus, but West led the queen

and a second spade. Declarer, Glenn Milgrim, ruffed,

passed the queen of trumps, led a trump to the ace and

ruffed a spade. He took the K-A of hearts, ruffed dummy’s

lastspadeandledthekingofdiamonds.Westcouldwin

and cash his high trump, but then he had to lead a dia-

mond from his jack. Making three.

It was suggested that East would prevail by overtaking

the queen of spades to shift to a diamond, saving West

from the end play. In fact, South fails if East leads anything

but a spade at Trick Two. South will lack the entries to ruff

all of dummy’s spades, and West will retain an exit card at

the end.

The winning defense is a subtle example of not helping

declarer, in any way, when dummy is flat and weak.

DAILYQUESTIONYouhold:♠ 9753 ♥♥A872♦♦10 7 2

♣A 7. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one

heart, he bids two clubs and you try two diamonds. Partner

then bids two hearts. What do you say?

ANSWER:This case is closer than it may look. Your two dia-

monds suggested at most nine points, but partner bid again

anyway. He has a strong hand short in spades, and you

have two aces. To jump to four diamonds would be reason-

able. Partner may hold 4, K Q 6, A K 9 8 4, K J 5 4.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYfor Thurs-
day, Oct. 17, 2019:
This year, you will feel more in
syncwithothersandyourself
than you have for a long time.
You will draw someone very dif-
ferent, perhaps a foreigner. Re-
lating to this person will help
open new doors. If single, you
could form a romantic bond with
this person. If attached, travel
appears more likely than it has in
the recent past. You also might
see your in-laws more often. A
GEMINI plays a fun role in your
life. You laugh more often if they
are around. Be open to a differ-
ent approach and style.
ARIES(March 21-April 19)
Speak your mind but understand
where others are coming from.
You can be fiery in response with
a key person or vice versa. Touch
base with a loved one who often
walks to a different tune. To-
night: Speak up.
TAURUS(April 20-May 20)
Be aware of your limits when
dealing with a money matter.
Others might not agree with your
perspective and let you know.
Hold back until you have a great-
er perspective than you do at
present. Tonight: Squeeze in
some exercise.
GEMINI(May 21-June 20)
Allow greater flow and under-
standing between you and a
child or a new friend. Ideas seem
to pop up out of nowhere. You
feel as if you have a muse on your
shoulder right now. Tonight: Go
with the natural flow of the mo-
ment.
CANCER(June 21-July 22)
Basics count, but you might not
be willing to share anything
more. Keeping certain details to
yourself might feel smart, but ul-
timately it might not work to
root out a problem. A domestic
issue easily could appear out of
the blue. Tonight: Stay centered.
LEO(July 23-Aug. 22)
You will speak your mind and
others will listen carefully. If you
ever wanted to make your point
to others, now is the time. A
meeting or a group of friends
seem very open to discussion. To-
night: Get together with friends.
VIRGO(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You shine at work or in the pub-
lic eye. Others nearly follow your
lead but could be hesitant for
personal reasons. Open up dis-
cussions. You will understand
where others are coming from.
Still, you will naturally take the
lead. Tonight: Out on the town.
LIBRA(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You could be unusually tired and
withdrawn, but try to stay fo-
cused. Your sense of humor
emerges, and silliness could pop
up out of nowhere. Do not be in-
timidated by another person's
news. Tonight: Be a duo.
SCORPIO(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Defer to another person, know-
ing full well what is too much to
take on for a project. One-on-one
relating draws strong responses
from others. Listen to a variety of
ideas whether they work for you
or not. Tonight: Go with a sug-
gestion.
SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Defer to others when you realize
enough is enough. Be more in
tune with your long-term desires.
A partner or close associate plays
an important role in what oc-
curs. Be wise and defer to this
person. Tonight: Think weekend.
CAPRICORN(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Pace yourself and get as much
done as possible. You could be ir-
ritable because of a situation that
dominates you at work or in an-
other milieu. Stay centered and
take charge of what you can han-
dle. Tonight: Make it early.
AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your fun spirit takes you down
an interesting route. While oth-
ers could be touchy or snappy,
you seem light and easy. Use
your creativity to make a point
and help another person relax.
Tonight: Let fun in.
PISCES(Feb. 19-March 20)
Tension builds around your
home and family. You could have
a case of the grumps or a situa-
tion could be disagreeable. No
matter what, tame your words in
discussions. You do not want to
create any long-term damage.
Tonight: Order in.
